Lisa Ray diagnosed with incurable cancer




On the eve of the release of her 'I Can't Think Straight', Bollywood actress Lisa Ray blogged that she had been diagnosed with a rare and incurable cancer.

On her blog, (http://lisaraniray.wordpress.com/) Ray writes, 'I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on June 23rd. Started my first cycle of treatment July 2nd. Not long ago.'

The actress is best known for her roles in Deepa Mehta's movie Water and Vikram Bhatt's Kasoor opposite Aftab Shivdasani and also for starring in Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's music video Afreen Afreen.

"For me, it was a relief to hear what was wrong. The plasma cells in my bone marrow were rampaging, multiplying, squeezing out the red blood cells and it was time to begin doing something about it. I was also tired of being tired all the time. And you just know when something is not kosher with your body. So when I sat there with Bobcat- my life partner and reservoir of Yellow- and got the news I didn't react and I didn't cry. I'm an actress, believe me, I can be dramatic. Not just then though," she writes.

Ray is being treated by Dr Ahmed Galal at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto.
